beforeAll inside skipped describe is executed when using the jasmine2 runner

See original GitHub issue

🐛 Bug Report

beforeAll inside skipped describes are executed regardless. This was already reported in #6166 and closed with #6234, but from what I’ve seen the problem remains when using the default jasmine2 runner. I wasn’t able to reproduce the bug when using the jest-circus runner.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

Have a test with a describe.skip
Have a beforeAll inside this skipped describe
Add some code inside the beforeAll to check if it is being executed

Expected behavior

The code from a beforeAll should not be executed when the describe it is part of is skipped.
